Weekend fun

We had a busy weekend... On Friday morning I needed to get something out of the storage room that was way in the back and once I started pulling things out I thought I may as well move some of the baby things to the front... and once I started that I thought maybe I should sort through the boxes and boxes of baby/kid clothes... and well that led to the entire basement being overtaken by clothes and containers and with some great "helpers" who love to see what is in every box you can imagine what my basement looked like. Just as everything was completely torn apart Brian called and said he had found a Toyota Sienna for sale that had just been posted so we should go look at it. So we did... and by 5pm that night it was ours. Buying a vehicle is such a process but we are now the happy new owners of a 2003 Toyota Sienna. We now have a vehicle that will fit our family when the baby comes. Yay! We plan to keep our CR-V and just not use it for the next year. I will post pictures soon.

Saturday morning it was our family's turn to go clean the church and after that we headed straight out to a Ward/Primary Activity in some beautiful countryside at someone in our church's house. The kids held baby chickens and took a hayride and we had lunch and enjoyed the company of some our ward members.

The girls on the hayride - I opted out of this because it was SO HOT!!
Brian and Miles
It was so hot I told Miles to pour some water on his head and he happily did so and was able to keep cool in the hot and humid weather.
It made him very happy!
Nora with the baby chick - although I think they are probably more tween or teen chicks?
Sophie loved holding the chickens and the King's (whose house we were at) were nice enough to give Sophie and Nora an egg to take home. Although I had to explain it wasn't going to hatch in to a baby chick at our house - which is what they thought would happen. And although there are no pictures of me you can imagine a red faced, sweaty pregnant lady easily enough! :)
Saturday night I was taking a load of laundry downstairs and slipped on a tupperware lid (my basement project had been abandoned for the weekend...) and fell down the bottom flight - luckily I fell flat on my back and really hurt my head/neck but didn't hurt my belly at all. But my neck has been super sore ever since. Today I finished the basement and made sure my stairs are object free! No more falls for me.

Yay for a new car! Looks like the kids had fun at the King's house. Too bad about the fall, hopefully your neck/head are feeling better. Looks like summer has officially started there and you are enjoying every minute of it!

So you guys have finally joined us in the minivan club (it's a pretty exclusive club:) Hope you are feeling better from your fall. When I was prego with Kirsten, I fell down some cement steps after one of my college classes. I was lucky to fall on my back too.
